That is a truly frightening picture.

That’s a frighteningly beautiful picture. I’m not a seaman, by any stretch, but I’ve done a couple of transatlantics on cruise ships. On my last one, transiting the North Sea to Iceland from Norway, we hit a storm while we were in bed. I heard a sloshing outside our balcony door and wondered who the hell could be washing windows at night in the cold? When I slid the curtains open I saw that it was the sea splashing against the ship. At our height. We were on Deck 10. I immediately went to bed and only then did I feel the roller coaster. Thankfully we had great stabilizers - almost no rolling motion - and full systems. I can’t imagine what goes in a ship under no command in those conditions.
